QCS Measurement Performance

Ensure your Quality Control System delivers peak performance with predictive monitoring and proactive maintenance

Variations in scanner and sensor performance can have a significant impact on paper quality and production efficiency. External factors such as unstable power supply, dust accumulation, or inadequate maintenance can degrade the accuracy of your Quality Control System (QCS) over time. ABB’s Measurement Performance continuously monitors the health of your QCS by analyzing key mechanical, electrical, and calibration signals. This proactive approach provides predictive alerts and actionable insights, helping mills prevent failures before they occur. By maintaining optimal measurement performance, mills can reduce unplanned downtime, minimize off-spec production, and extend the lifecycle of critical assets—ultimately improving profitability and operational stability.

Simplifying maintenance through automation

Traditional preventive maintenance on QCS scanners and sensors can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, often requiring manual checks and reactive interventions. Measurement Performance automates these processes by leveraging advanced analytics and continuous data collection. This enables maintenance teams to prioritize actions based on real-time conditions, reducing unnecessary work and ensuring that resources are focused where they are needed most. The result is a more efficient, data-driven approach to maintaining QCS performance and ensuring consistent product quality.

Features 

  • Automatic, non-invasive data gathering over extended periods
  • Continuous analysis of mechanical, electrical, and calibration signals
  • Configurable, predictive rule-based alerts for targeted maintenance
  • Automated sample check error analysis
  • Operator-friendly user interface
  • Able to work as a standalone application or integrated with other Extended Solutions

 

Benefits

  • Protects optimal QCS performance and availability
  • Provides early identification of error sources impacting scanners and sensors
  • Enables proactive, prioritized maintenance and calibration planning
  • Replaces labor-intensive preventive tasks with digital analytics
  • Helps offset skills gaps for less experienced staff
  • Facilitates collaboration between quality stakeholders and support personnel 
  • Increases mill profitability by reducing off-spec paper, rejects, and downtime

 

How it works

Raw data from scanners and sensors is collected online, analyzed automatically, and converted into KPIs displayed on intuitive dashboards—accessible both onsite and remotely. Predictive notifications alert teams to potential issues before they escalate. Periodic reports and case-based diagnostics further support continuous improvement. The result: sustained QCS performance, reduced maintenance costs, and improved operational efficiency. 

Measurement Performance can also be delivered via ABB Collaborative Operations Center, which connects services that leverage the availability and transparency of data from the Extended Solutions platform into a data ecosystem. By connecting ABB and customer experts to data in a collaborative environment, problems can be quickly diagnosed, and corrective actions implemented.
